DESCRIPTION CALIBRATION
ONICON insertion turbine flow meters are Every ONICON flow meter is wet-calibrated in
suitable for measuring electrically conductive our flow laboratory against primary volumetric
water-based liquids. The F-1100 model provides standards directly traceable to NIST. Certification
a high-resolution frequency output for connection of calibration is included with every meter.
to an ONICON Display or BTU Meter.
FEATURES
APPLICATIONS Unmatched Price vs. Performance - Custom
• Chilled water, hot water, condenser calibrated, highly accurate instrumentation
water, and water/glycol/brine for HVAC at very competitive prices.
• Process water and water mixtures Excellent Long-term Reliability - Patented
• Domestic water electronic sensing is resistant to scale and
particulate matter. Low mass turbines with
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS engineered jewel bearing systems provide a
mechanical system that virtually does not wear.
ACCURACY
± 0.5% OF READING at calibrated velocity Industry Leading Two-year "No-fault" Warranty -
± 1% OF READING from 3 to 30 ft/s (10:1 range) Reduces start-up costs with extended coverage
± 2% OF READING from 0.4 to 20 ft/s (50:1 range) to include accidental installation damage
